Female Moments/Male Structures: The Representation of Women in Romantic Comedies Jordan Scharaga April 24, 2017 Submitted to the Faculty of Ursinus College in fulfillment of the requirements for Distinguished Honors in the Media and Communication Studies Department. Abstract: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again. With this formula it seems that romantic comedies are actually meant for men instead of women. If this is the case, then why do women watch these films? The repetition of female stars like Katharine Hepburn, Doris Day and Meg Ryan in romantic comedies allows audiences to find elements of truth in their characters as they grapple with the input of others in their life choices, combat the anxiety of being single, and prove they are less sexually naïve than society would like to admit.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

An indispensable guide to what “It” is all about.” Maria DiBattista, Princeton University “Linda Mizejewski’s It Happened One Night, like Frank Capra’s, is tough-minded and tender, politically and discursively astute, yet open to the humor and mystery of “young people in love.” Her command of the scholarship is impressive, her prose is nimble and sharp. A landmark study of a landmark film.” Leland Poague, Iowa State University “What a wonderful read! Mizejewski’s witty and lucid study of It Happened One Night offers a knowledgeable introduction not only to this important film but to the genre of romantic comedy and the scholarship it has inspired.” Kathleen Rowe Karlyn, University of Oregon 99781405173896_1_pretoc.indd781405173896_1_pretoc.indd i 77/9/2009/9/2009 44:17:50:17:50 PPMM Wiley-Blackwell Studies in Film and Television Series Editors: Diane Negra and Yvonne Tasker Experienced media studies teachers know that real breakthroughs in the classroom are often triggered by texts that an austere notion of the canon would disqualify. Unlike other short book series, Wiley-Blackwell Studies in Film and Television works from a broad field of prospective film and television programs, selected less for their adherence to defi- nitions of “art” than for their resonance with audiences.

  • Ib Film Ii Summer Films and Reading
    IB FILM II SUMMER FILMS AND READING WHAT YOU WILL NEED • A “Netflix” or an “I Love Video” or “Vulcan Video” account to view movies. • A journal/notebook (prefer a notebook that you can bring to class). You will be writing journal entry responses to the films you watch. • Access to internet and MyBack • Mr. Regan’s email: o [email protected] REQUIREMENTS (to be completed by the first day of classes in August): This is worth three exam grades, a total of 300 points, literally the weight of your first three exams. 1) Select 15 films from the list provided (watch as many as you can!). You should watch 1 film from each of the categories, and the rest is your choice. 2) Write journal responses (1-2 pages each) for each of the films. Each response should be in paragraph form and should be about your observations, insight, comments, and connections that you are making between the reading and the movies you watch. Your writing will be much richer if you research information about the film you watch before you write – simply stating your opinion will not give you much material to write about and you will not be able to go beyond your own opinion – for example, read articles written on the film by critics (news paper articles from the New York Times, rogerebert.com, IMDB.com, filmsite.org, etc). You can also read the screenplay for the film at scriptcity.com or script-o-rama.com to get further insight. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOKS TO BUY AND READ: • Understanding Movies (12th Edition) [Paperback ] • Film Directing: Shot by Shot – by Steven D.
